- 2. SUPERCHARGED COMPUTING FOR THE DA VINCIS AND EINSTEINS OF OUR TIME We pioneered a supercharged form of computing loved by the most demanding computer users in the world — scientists, designers, artists, and gamers. NVIDIA GPU computing has become the essential tool of the da Vincis and Einsteins of our time. For them, we’ve built the equivalent of a time machine. Fueled by the insatiable demand for better 3D graphics and the massive scale of the gaming market, NVIDIA has evolved the GPU into a computer brain at the intersection of virtual reality, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence.

- 3. 3 THE TIME HAS COME FOR GPU COMPUTING For 30 years, the dynamics of Moore’s law held true. Microprocessor performance advanced at a rate of 50 percent per year as more and more transistors were fit onto a single chip. But that approach is hitting the limits of semiconductor physics, and, today, CPU performance only grows by 10 percent per year. NVIDIA GPU computing has given the industry a path forward — and will provide a 1,000X speed-up by 2025.
- 4. 4 THE EPICENTER OF GPU COMPUTING NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference was started in 2009 to foster a new approach to high performance computing. Today, GTC is one of the most important AI events of the year.
